Playa, as the locals affectionately call it, has boomed into fully-functioning luxury resort. La Quinta Avenida is Playa del Carmen’s Fifth Avenue; like its Yankee sister, it never sleeps: the illuminated haciendas pump out music and drinks all night long. At Playa’s heart is the beach. Recline on the white sand, or go snorkeling in the azure water of the Caribbean Sea to see turtles, rays, and rainbow coral.

Maroma

Escape the crowds in this adults-only beach resort. Luxury hotels, complete with spas and gourmet dining, have their own areas of powder-white beach, so you can relax in utter tranquility. You’ll be served tropical cocktails on a regular basis and you can choose to snorkel, dive, or take a boat trip to explore Maroma's reef. If all the solitude gets too much, Playa del Carmen is only 15 minutes away.

Tulum

With its Mayan temple complex holding fort on a cliff top overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Tulum captures the spirit of the Mayan Riviera like nowhere else. Pay homage to the Diving God in the Templ…

With its Mayan temple complex holding fort on a cliff top overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Tulum captures the spirit of the Mayan Riviera like nowhere else. Pay homage to the Diving God in the Temple of the Frescoes if you plan to take a diving trip. If you can face an early start, get up in time for sunrise: the east-facing site catches the first rays, illuminating the temples spectacularly.

Compared to some of the flashier resorts along the Riviera Maya, Puerto Morelos has more of a small-town atmosphere, complete with precariously leaning lighthouse. It attracts serious foodies with its trademark shrimp ceviche and Mexican cookery classes. Divers and snorkelers still have the ever-beguiling reef, visible between blue and green bands of sea, while the nearby ecopark offers onshore adventure in the form of zip-wiring and horse riding through jungle.

Akumal

Akumal's a smaller, less frantic place than its neighbors. Developed as a resort for scuba divers, Akumal offers some of the best marine life in the region. Swim out through the emerald water to t…

Akumal's a smaller, less frantic place than its neighbors. Developed as a resort for scuba divers, Akumal offers some of the best marine life in the region. Swim out through the emerald water to the reef to catch a glimpse of the endangered Green Turtles or visit the nearby lagoon to snorkel amongst thousands of tropical fish. The almost-hidden Kantenah Beach boasts super soft sands perfect for sprawling out on.

"My family of four (two adults and two boys, ages 5 an 2) spent seven nights at the Porto Playa Condo Hotel. It was fantastic.

"We had a great stay here for a week in April 2015. The hotel location was good for us (not too close to 5th street & the noise that comes with it) but close enough to get there for dinner. We would have preferred to be closer to the beach, but we knew the location going into it. The surroundi..."
